crè

crè
I.
clay, Irish, Old Irish cré, g. criad, Welsh pridd, Cornish, Breton pry. Its relation to Latin crêta, which Wharton explains as from crêtus, "sifted", from cerno, is doubtful. If cerno be for *crino, Greek $$Gkrínw, we should have the root kri, krei, separate, as in criathar, and it is not labialised in any language (not qrei). The Celtic phonetics are not easily explained, however. Stokes gives the stem as qreid-, but the modern Gaelic has the peculiar è sound which we find in gnè, . This points to a stem qre$$--jâ, root qrê, which is in agreement with Latin crêta without doing the violence of supposing crino to give cerno, and this again crêtus. Cf. Old Irish clé, left.
II.
crè, creubh
body; See creubh.
